I love this feature in Gnome and use it all the time, I actually miss this feature when I use macOS, would love to be able to hold command and drag a window without needing to select title bar. It sounds like System 76 are really working on

Looks interesting, but there doesn’t seem to be any licence on this project, and it is not clear if the source is available via the repo linked from website. Anyone know if this is FOSS?

The amount of entitlement ringing through the comments on the issue is crazy. It really makes me frustrated to see as it just adds fire to putting companies off the idea of developing open source software.

Why do you hate snaps?

This is great to see, well done ProtonMail. I asked Fastmail if they would open source their email app on Android but was told no. > the probability of the app to be opensourced is very unlikely

No mention of Linux I see, guess market too small to care. Seems to align with the recent decision to weaken the supported filesystem sync options on Linux as well. No real loss, as there are excellent open source alternatives luckily.

I am pro net neutrality, and would like to see a completely decentralised internet. It is not nitpicking to question the integrity and veracity of the messenger.

To be clear I am not saying they’re wrong. It’s like being told to recycle everything in a magazine that is full of adverts funded by the toxic waste industry. Yes, I agree with recycling (and do so myself) but it’s hard to trust the source

I just loaded this article on my mobile device. An ad on the website triggered with auto playing audio that stopped background media playback of my device. I class these type of ads as a type of vermin, and generally avoid any website that

Yes, that is sort of the point of the EU. Whatever I wanted though, the vote has already happened, and the leavers won. We'll all be seeing what happens to the UK as a result.

The EU is far from perfect, but the UK government has proven time and time again it requires oversight. The UK governments stance on e.g. encryption is nothing short of an international embarrassment. I am woeful for the future of this tiny

There was (or is) one called Mycroft which had promised big things but didn't deliver a compelling recognition and synthesis, although the recognition seems better than synthesis from what I have seen. They did open source much of the

Almost ironic really, since git was created for development of the [Linux Kernel]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git ).

Tl/dr Hacker News, Podcasts, RSS, YouTube and Reddit. Perhaps because I've been on internet since early days I still use RSS (self-hosted Stringer + Unread app). I keep RSS feeds as selective and few as possible. I have a couple o

I'm hoping this puts a dampener or even better kills the May-driven Conservative manifesto pledge to "create a new internet".

I use MySQL Workbench if I need a GUI, works well and is actually more powerful than Sequel Pro, however the UI is nowhere near as pretty. Still, it is an adequate replacement recommend checking it out.

Apparently Infinality has been abandoned, and can cause problems, so might want to be careful installing it. I recently had an issue where I could not log into Gnome, I took it as an opportunity to reinstall Arch as I wanted to do a fresh i

Much like the hideous legislation passed in the UK, at this point I just think bring it. The more governments overtly undertake efforts to wrestle control of the internet, sanitise and snoop every aspect of it, and slowly destroy it, the gr

I have respect for BSD and am very thankful that there is more than just Linux (my preferred OS). One thing that I've noticed is that, warranted or not, a lot of BSD users seem to suffer from an inferiority complex. On some BSD podcast

My personal laptop is a Thinkpad, when comparing it to a MacBook Pro it's a joke. Build quality is mediocre, the screen is garbage, trackpad is only OK etc. The keyboard is miles better though. I still prefer to own it over a MacBook a

I'm not an Apple hater, I use a MacBook Pro at work (funnily enough, either SSH remote linux server or running Linux VM through vagrant), for my personal machines I run 100% Linux. It is solid hardware, but I think the OS is becoming a

This looks really solid, I've been looking around for a lightweight alternative to Foundation. Is there a SASS version (so can pick and choose components etc)? Also, in the docs the tabs are working well but on the test page there is a

Indeed as kijin states, the drive itself is full disk encrypted using LUKS, and SSH takes care of encrypting everything during transport. I did not require de-dupe but did only want to transmit only the diffs since last back up. I also want

I spent a good few weeks recently researching and testing different back up systems that I could install to a Raspberry Pi with a big USB hard drive attached, to act as an extra offsite backup for some remote servers. rsnapshot was pretty m
